Wow - those look fantastic. Obviously I now have to save the selvedges as well as any scrap over 1in. Is there no end to the ingenuity of quilters...
I now have a big bag of saved selvages and will be looking soon for a project to make with them! Crumbs and selvages...our grandmothers would be so proud!!! :):):)
